A historic hospital in the Sanità district that encloses the early Christian basilica of San Gennaro extra moenia.

In the Sanità district, the Hospital of San Gennaro dei Poveri has a history intertwined with that of the 5th-century basilica that stands within it, next to the Catacombs of San Gennaro.After centuries as a Benedictine monastery and a long period of neglect, from the late 15th century the complex was reused for charitable care, eventually becoming a hospital for the poor. It is still a healthcare facility today: when visiting the catacombs, we notice its courtyards and the ancient basilica.
